Since the Garfield Arthur victory OF
1880, New York has never given a
clean Republican majority. In 1881,
the Republicans elected Carr Secretary
of State by 1902 and at the same
time the Democrats elected Maxwell
State Treasurer by 21,l9S. In 1882
the Democratic tidal wave swept
Cleveland in as Governor by 192,854,
and in 1888 the Republicans again
elected Carr Secretary OF State by 49,
583, while the Democrats reelected
Maxwell State Treasurer by II ,56S and
also elected their Controller and At
torney General by nearly the same
vote. In 1884, Cleveland struck the
Irish detection to Blaine and carried
the State by 1,047. In 1885, Hill was
elected by Al 1874 in 1886 the Demo.
Gratis elected the Judge of the Court Of
Appeals, the only State officer voted
for, by 1877, and in 1887 with the issue
of 1888 pretty clearly made up, the
Democrats defeat young Grant by
1900.
Unless some new and entirely unex-
pected factor shall enter into the con-
test in New York in 1883, it seems to
be next to surely anchored on the
Cleveland side OF the Electoral Col
lege; and it is quite improbable that
either New Jersey or Connecticut will
vote Republican with New York DEM
ocratic. Both States are closely inter-
woven with New York, and both have
voted with the Empire State since
1884. In 1885 New Jersey and Con-
nectieut held the only State elections
since 1884, and both gave decided
Democratic pluralities for Governor
In Connecticut, where it requires a
majority of the whole vote cast to
elect, the Democrats gave their can.
didate for Governor 1898 plurality
over the Republican candidate, as
they gave l l,646 like plurality in 1884
but in both cases the election wa;
transferred to the Legislature, where
the Republicans elected their can
didates who we're defeated by the peo
pie.
All parties concede to Cleveland ir
1888 the 153 electoral votes to be cas-
by the Southean States and Maryland
and Delaware, and with New York
Connecticut and New Jersey all added
they score up 2O4 electoral votes, or
more than majority Of all. Outside
of these are Indiana with Is. Cali
fornia with and Nevada with 8. all o
which are fairly dpbatable, and Michi
gan with IS and Wisconsin with II
which are quite as debatable as eithe
North Carolina, Tennessee or either o

GENERAL VANDEvER's counsel yes
terday placed an old codger on the
stand who swore that he was one
hundred and six years old, and that
he sold his vote at the last election
for two dollars and a half. But he
said, regretfully, that this was the
first time he had ever exchanged his
franchise for coin of the realm. We
presume his regret was caused by
realizing at this late day how much
wealth he had lost by failing to enter
the vote market in the days OF his
youth. For eighty-five years this
exemplary citizen has lost money at
every election. Had he, during all
that time, voted early and often,
what oloated millionaire might he
not be now if he had placed the in
crement of his election gains in Los
Angeles corner lots! 1t must be sad
| to look back at wasted opportunities
like this when one waits till his 106th
year before he gets his eye-teeth cut
to the commercial value of the cleo
tive franchise.

THE Board of Trade, at a special

THE Board of Trade, at a special
meeting held yesterday afternoon,
passed a strong resolution against a
strict Interpretation by the Commits
sioners of the Interstate Commerce
law, and framed a message which
was sent to them, asking for suspen-
sion of section of the act until the
people can be heard from. We hope
that this action of the Board Of Trade
will be followed by similar protests
from every town and city in the State
ipjuriously affected by the appalling
Interpretation placed upon this law.
1t has taken generation of energy,
ability and American enterprise to
build up California into proud, pro-
gressive and opulent State. 1t is not
conceivable that an error of legisla-
ton should be permitted to destroy it
in a minute. 1t would hardly be a
picture worthy of the nineteenth CEN
tury to see another Marius weeping
over the ruins of our California Car
thages.

Gen. M. q. Vallejo.

At the closing exercises of the Fruit.
Growers Convention at Riverside, the
venerable Gen. M. G. Vallejo made a
most amusing speech. He stated that
sixty-fve years ago he came to the place
where Riverside now is, and there waa
no river and no side either; all the
country seemed TO be rock and cactus,
and thorns. Now, he found the Yankees
had made it into heaven. He was then a
young man and in company with a
Padre and Francisco Maria Luiz to hold
meeting with large tribe of the San
Jacinto Indians in San Jacinto Valley and
on the way passed through what was
now paradise but then seemed more
like hell. He invited the convention
whea next it met, to come to Santa
Rosa, in Sonoma County, where he
promised there would be room for all.
The General remembered many years
ago telling Captain w. T. Sayward,
" hen he asked him about the irrigating
systems of Old Spain and Mexico, and
after getting the desired information in.
forming the General that he
was going to put the inform.
alton gained in practice at Riverside, that
he laughed at the Captain and to Id him
that hu had seen that land and that it
was purgatory. But now he had seen
with his own eyes what had been
wrought, and that the laugh was now
on him and not on Capt. Sayward.
The General Is now nearly 100 vears
old, but is full of vivacity and quaint
hnvsor, and kept the convention in
laughter during his remarks. A. his
